Special Post For Significant Comment

Over the years of reading various articles I've noticed an occasional comment at the bottom that is so well stated, or witty, that I consider them a significant comment. Since these significant comments have been noticed repeatedly, it occurred to me that it would make a worthy contribution to this blog to insert a few as a post once in a while for my readers. I hope they're ones that are enjoyable to them as much as they have been to me. I enjoy these because it is interesting to see how others manage to express similar sentiments in such diverse ways.

So, I've decided to start today posting a significant comment and in the future will title each new additional significant comment with the same title; Special Post For Significant Comment.

"i listened to hillary shrill for a minute yesterday. she said all the same things she has been saying for 3 decades, women this, women that. and the left continues to ignore the real problem….young men, mostly black, definitely democratic leaning, that are being led to slaughter by the democrat party. no wonder they riot."

And... regarding the state of California recently passing a law to make it a "sanctuary state" for illegals:

"Please try not to be too hard on California and remember their start as a State. The old rhyme sums it up best: ”The miners came in 49; the whores in 51 and when they got together they made the native son.” So essentially they started off as bastards and remain so to this day."

DACA Advocates Just Don't Get It!

What this nation is witnessing now is a full-on invasion! I believe it's because we citizens in America are too polite overall and have no concept of just how much the allowance of their staying in the country is costing them personally in a multitude of ways; sucking our social security funds, killing U.S. citizens in accidents, and committing crimes which strains our law enforcement forces who are already under attack.

Dreamers are showing their full colors of just how little regard they have for adherence to laws in the very country they were brought into by their parents who snuck into the United States illegally years ago. Their disregard for honoring any U.S. laws is obviously premised on the notion that human rights are superior to any laws a country may have. 

Yet, in the very country they originate from, the authorities there wouldn't even give them the time of day to argue this point, but just throw them in prison without any hearing and let them rot there. Might this reality have been the motivation of the parents of these DACA "Dreamer's" to flea their own country and enter the U.S. illegally?

To get a clearer understanding of this attitude which attempts to obfuscate and confuse the public who aren't able to think for themselves, I invite the reader to watch this video carefully by giving it your complete attention and focus on how Cesar Vargas repeatedly replies to every question put to him.

United Nations Delegates Stunned Into Silence

Apparently, as recently as September, an event at the U.N. occurred which caused the listeners to a guest speaker silenced by the surprise of who was saying to them about Hamas's impact on Palestinians; none other than the "Son of Hamas" Mosab Hassan Yousef! Watch the video of his speech to the large delegation of U.N. Ambassadors and the expressions of shock and silence as he reveals the truth about why Palestinians are living in misery and who is really to blame for it.

We can only hope and pray that this becomes a trend at the U.N. to bring out the truth about the countless atrocities and corruption which have occurred under its "organization".

A North Korean Human Rights Story

I received this very stirring message with the following video attached today. I do not know anything about this particular organization where this girl is speaking to her audience, but it reveals some rare insight into what the life of a North Korean is like under this dark regime of the Kim family.

I urge you to share this with others!

Question Everything!

It's been two days since we woke up to learn from the media that there was a horrendous massacre in Las Vegas. Within an hour or two we were told that it was Stephen Paddock, and accountant at Lockheed who had a pension, or obsession for gambling and had apparently no apparent motive for holding up in the 32nd floor suite room of the Mandalay Bay hotel for days to prepare for the shooting of hundreds of people attending the country western music concert only a couple blocks away.

Yes, some of the video footage makes it obvious that there was someone shooting an automatic - rapid fire capable - weapon from that high vantage point in order to spray fire down on the crowd below, but does that prove that it was Stephen Paddock doing the firing? Yes, the S.W.A.T. team which breached the room found Paddock dead from an apparent "self-inflicted gun shot wound", but that still doesn't prove that he was firing the weapon.

I'm not trying to defend Paddock, or anyone else for carrying out this heinous act, but what I'm trying to get at here is that all the facts have not yet been gathered about this extremely complex and mysterious event. And, for various reasons, I can't help but feel that we may not ever know the actual facts surrounding this largest mass shooting event in our nation's history. Call me a "conspiracy nut", but my gut tells me that several factors and elements involved in this whole event just don't wash. To help clarify my point, I'm going to list some key questions about it:

1. Why is there STILL no apparent or obvious motive?
2. How is it that this person had no criminal background, or record, that gives any clue about a motive?
3. While his brother in Florida has stated that he wasn't the kind of guy to do something like this, does it seem plausible that, as someone has suggested, that the rise in prescription drugs could be a factor in this case?
4. Why would he possibly need to have 23 different weapons, not to mention the accompanying ammunition necessary for those pieces, in the suite if he was alone?
5. Could he possibly fire even half of those weapons that were found in the suite by the S.W.A.T. team?
6. Why didn't hotel security notice something was "off" in their monitoring of security cameras when seeing him come through the lobby with multiple luggage pieces time after time; much more than a usual hotel patron?
7. Why did it happen that his female friend was out of the country at the time this event went down?
8. Why did he apparently wire $100,000 to the Philippines shortly before the event?
9. Why do we see images of the Mandalay Bay hotel from the outside showing two exterior windows, several yards apart, broken out?
10. Why is ISIS taking credit for this attack?
11. Why is the F.B.I. stating that there is "currently no evidence that Paddock joined ISIS"?
12. Why were there reportedly two video cameras found on that floor; one down the hall from the suite, linked to a monitor in the suite from which the shooting occurred, and another within the suite?
13. Why is there now an audio recording of the S.W.A.T. team released and played on Michael Savage's radio show disclosing that the team confirmed that there was a second shooter in the suite?
14. Is it too far fetched to conjecture that, if ISIS has claimed Paddock was a soldier of theirs, they set him up for this?
15. Is it plausible, given these unanswered questions, that the following might also be a possibility?
1. Paddock was having financial problems from his compulsive gambling.
2. Some other person, or group, or organization posed Paddock as the "patsy" by holding him hostage in the suite, carrying out the massacre of firing on the concert goers, then shooting Paddock and leaving him as the decoy and escaping by some means unknown.
3. The purpose for doing this might possibly be to further stir up division between conservatives and liberals in the country by making it appear as though a white male just decided to kill a bunch of people; reviving the decades long debate over "gun control" even before all the bodies have been taken off the concert grounds given some of the statements already made by some liberals in reaction.

Why do I get a feeling in my gut about this event that too many things just don't add up and that we're, from the media and law enforcement officials on the case, not being told all of what actually happened? Is the truth too revealing that it would most likely unite the country sufficiently when it was learned, to bring about the end of their control? If we do learn of something that makes all of these unanswered questions invalid or moot, then great. I've been barking up the wrong tree, as the saying goes.

But, given the quantity of fake news which we've learned about in just the last year, I can't help but wonder if that as well might be just another made up story for public consumption. 

Update - 10/03/17: New information from the Las Vegas Sheriff's press conference today revealed some information that does change some of my points. However... he also did make a point of supporting my point that it is their suspicion that there most likely was an accomplice to this horrible act and that he intended to escape after he was done killing. It appears that this story is going to play out for many months to come and we may not ever know what motive he may have had for carrying this out.

Update - 10/04/17: New questions are mounting from those who have the skill to think critically about things that don't make sense. While some of them seem bogus to me, there are other questions which reveal some very good points I hadn't even considered. Link #1 / Link #2 / Link #3 / Link #4

Update - 10/5/17: Ann Coulter's posted a new article on this issue. And then, there are those who's countering views use the Occum's Razor premise; that the simplest explanation is most likely correct.

The Truth Is Prevailing Over the Media Lies

Over the past two days Sean Hannity, at his new 9 p.m. time slot on FOX News Chanel has discussed the raging issue which has further divided our nation; NFL millionaires using our time to escape to our favorite past-time to push their political agenda. Below are the two links of those broadcasts for you to view at your discretion and time of choosing.

I hope you do watch both because they are chock full of rather informative and revealing points which inform - unlike most of the MSM on this issue - that will help clarify certain points not shared or discussed by the MSM. If we as a nation are to heal we must overcome the emotional and impulsiveness which is driving our current social discourse. 

Here's my parting question: If ignorance is bliss, then why aren't there more happy people today?

I hope this is helpful to viewers for the sake of the future of our nation.

The Irony of It!

Why do I get the clear impression that those who kneel on the sidelines during our National Anthem are blind to the gratitude they should be expressing regarding the opportunity they took advantage of because they had a talent and worked hard to get where they are while others sacrificed so they could have that opportunity? Do they think that their poor judgement of taking a knee is offending the very people who pay their millionaire salaries will not get disgusted with their immature and poor decision making disrespect for the symbol they claim they're not targeting? Oh sure! Then, my question is, why are they doing it during the time when we celebrate our common heritage, of creating a nation in which they had the opportunity to become superstar athletes, which is viewed by the vast majority of the public as positive and uplifting? (This link above is Brandon Tatum of ASU telling it like it is.) And here is David Harris speaking his mind about this issue.

The following remarks were shared in my mailbox today and I post it here because it focuses on my questions.

So you want to take a knee!!

Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. If you don't know where that is, just Google it from the sidelines. Hold a musket ball in your fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking a bone or two. There won't be a doctor or trainer to assist you until after the battle, so just wait your turn.Take your cleats and socks off to get a real experience. Then take a knee.

Then, take one at the beach in Normandy where man after American man stormed the beach, even as the one in front of him was shot to pieces...the very sea stained with American blood. The only blockers most had were the dead bodies in front of them, riddled with bullets from enemy fire.

Take a knee in the sweat soaked jungles of Vietnam. from Khe San to Saigon...Anywhere will do. Americans died in all those jungles.There was no playbook that told them what was next, but they knew what flag they represented. When they came home, they were protested as well..and spit on for reasons only cowards know.

Take another knee in the blood drenched sands of Fallujah in 110 degree heat..Wear your Kevlar helmet and battle dress...Your number won't be printed on it unless your number is up! You'll need to stay hydrated but there won't be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth. You're on your own.

There's a lot of places to take a knee. Americans have given their lives all over the world. When you use the banner under which they fought as a source for your displeasure, you dishonor the memories of those who bled for the very freedoms you have. That's what the red stripes mean. It represents the blood of those who spilled a sea of it defending your liberty.

While you're on your knee, pray for those that came before you, not on a manicured lawn striped and printed with numbers to announce every inch of ground taken...but on nameless hills and bloodied beaches and sweltering forests and bitter cold mountains...every inch marked by an American life lost serving that flag you protest.

No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans...just American men and women...delivering the real fight against those who chose to harm us...blazing a path so you would have the right to "take a knee."

You haven't an inkling what it took to get you where you are...but your "protest" is duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of real heroes, it serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for those who chose to defend you under that banner that will still wave long after your jersey is retired...

If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on Sunday and we'll both kneel before Almighty God. We'll thank him for preserving this country for as long as He has. We'll beg forgiveness for our ingratitude for all He has provided us. We'll appeal to Him for understanding and wisdom. We'll pray for liberty and justice for all...because He is the one who provides those things.

But there will be no protest. There will only be gratitude for His provision and a plea for His continued grace and mercy on the land of the free and the home of the brave. It goes like this...

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
